Finally a House Update!!!!

Finally here are some pictures I took at the house yesterday afternoon, testing out the new camera!

Here is the shower, all insulated and ready for plywood!

Here is the driveway...we have a driveway! Yippee! Also the "fake" doors on the garage!

Here is a shot into the kitchen and the rest of the house (bedrooms and bathrooms!)

Here is the back deck...you can see the stairs on one end there on the right; there is an identical set at the other end.

Yesterday John got the can lights wired in the covered part of the back deck.

A shot of the stairs at the side of the deck.

Finally the hook ups for our washer and dryer! Woo hoo!

I Know it's Been a While....

since I've posted, but we have had camera issues. First the flash wouldn't work and we realized, thanks to Justin, it was because the flash had a nice, large crack in it. Fixing it would probably cost as much as buying a new one, not to mention taking longer, so we finally found the camera we wanted to buy. First I got it through Dell, at a much cheaper price, so I paid the extra for fast shipping. It was supposed to be here tomorrow, but they just notified me it wouldn't be shipped until the end of NEXT week. So I went ahead and cancelled that order and got it off Amazon. It said it guaranteed delivery tomorrow....so I can finally get some pictures posted! I found an old camera in the closet and may try it; we'll see how it goes. Justin came home sick from school this afternoon so there may not be much picture taking time. But I hope to get more tomorrow...we are getting plumbing, we have a driveway, and "temporary" doors on the house. Also, the painting should be starting on Monday! Woo! We hope all is well with you all!

Reno Balloon Races...Day Two!

Here we are for day number two of the Great Reno Balloon Races! It was supposed to be "Special Shape Balloons" on Sunday, but all we saw were the same balloons from the day before! It was a little disappointing, but we sure had a good time! Even getting up at 3am again...Just seeing the Dawn Patrol is worth it. John got some video of it and we hope to get it on the blog ASAP! Jacob didn't even seem to mind getting up at 3am again...he was a great sport!

Great Reno Balloon Races

Here are some more pictures. I am bad at writting. Hunt and Peck ALL THE WAY!!!

Great Reno Balloon Races

We'll the sun finally came up and all the balloons were getting ready for the MASS ASCENSION, which happened about 6:45am. Jacob was waving at the balloons while practicing driving with me. We all liked the Bald eagle which ascended while they played the National Anthem, before the mass ascension. Some T6's also did a fly by. Justin liked the SMOKEY BEAR balloon.

Balloon Race Morning

We all went to the Reno Balloon Races this morning. We all got up at 3:00 am and left the house at 3:45. When we got there we soon saw the balloons lighting the burners. We soon heard some music and they were light them in sync with the music.

We're Moving Right Along...

Here are some pictures taken earlier this week of the inside of the house.

This is a picture of the kitchen island, facing into the kitchen. This side will have a small breakfast bar that should house 3 stools.

This is a shot of the island from inside of the kitchen. There will be a sink on the far left which will be wonderful! We have one in our island now and I just couldn't live without it! We talked about either having a second oven (which I will have someday!) or the sink/garbage disposal in the island, and I had to pick the sink. I do all my prep work at the island and having the sink right there is awesome!

This is where our fireplace will go. John built a shelf on top that we are hoping will house our telelvision. Then we not only have it a bit higher up so you can see it from all over the front of the house, but it will save room on the floor! It will be nice ot have that room! You can also put pictures or plants or what not on top instead!
